Use of hybrid rumex acetosa L. in production of fertilizer

ABSTRACT

The present invention is concerned with an application of Lumeikesi hybrid rumex acetosa in production of agricultural fertilizer. Lumeikesi hybrid rumex is a new variety, which has high contents of protein, vitamin C and carotene. A nutrient juice of Lumeikesi hybrid rumex is added to weathered coal and converted to humic acid necessary for agricultural fertilizer, then formulated into agricultural fertilizer. The fertilizer can increase yield of crop, improve quantity of fruit and can also reduce environmental pollution and prevent humans from chemical substance.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The invention relates to a new use of hybrid Rumex acetosa L.,especially to a use in production of agricultural fertilizer.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

China is a big agricultural country with her population accounting for22% that of the world while cultivable land accounting for only 7% thatof the world. For meeting the requirement of cereals for populationincreasing, the country has been obliged to apply inorganic fertilizerswith increasing annual increment on limited land to obtain highproductivity. And that leads to quick decreasing of humics andmicroelement contents in soil, severe destruction of soil structure,fixation of various components in fertilizers by soil or loss of them,annual decreasing of effective utility, and abnormal proportion ofnutritious elements in soil, which in turn contributes to decreasing ofprotein, sugar and various vitamins in crops and worse palate and worsequality of them.

Therefore it is now very urgent for us to provide an agriculturalfertilizer which has high nutritious contents and is not harmful tosoil.

An object of this invention is to provide a new use of hybrid Rumexacetosa L. in production of nutritious agricultural fertilizer.

Hybrid Rumex acetosa L. has been examined and certified by NationalHerbage Species Exam & Certify Committee as a new species of herbage,and a credential has been issued as a qualified national herbage specieswith a registered number 183. Hybrid Rumex acetosa L. is a Rumex acetosaL. of knotweed family, which belongs to perennial herb, with Rumexpatientia L. as its female parent and Rumex tianschanica L. as its maleparent.

Hybrid Rumex acetosa L. is a new breed of green product with highprotein, high vitamin C and high carotene. It possesses series offeatures such as high productivity, long life, good anti-frigid and goodanti-drought property, high protein content and full and balancenutrition. Variation of its nutritious contents during different growingperiods is shown in following table 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention provides an application of hybrid Rumex acetosa L. inproduction of nutritious agricultural fertilizer.

In above-mentioned application, the agricultural fertilizer is a highefficient agricultural fertilizer and can be produced as a bio-compoundfertilizer or a high efficient liquid agricultural fertilizer.

In particularly, the juice squeezed from the cutting hybrid Rumexacetosa L. is heated or added with some acids into it. Then thesupernatant fluid obtained by separating its precipitate is directlysprayeded on solid carriers and then fermented to get agricultural humicacid necessary for agricultural fertilizer. Thereafter suitable quantityof microelements such as N, P and K is added and eventually a nutritiousagricultural fertilizer is prepared with excellent qualify and highefficiency.

The said solid carriers can be weathered coal, coal ash powder, furnacecinder and mineral slag, etc.

In the said nutritious agricultural fertilizer with excellent qualifyand high efficiency, some bio-components can be added into it to get apioneering bio-compound fertilizer with excellent qualify and highefficiency, such as nitrogen fixed microorganism, K disintegratedmicroorganism and P disintegrated microorganism, etc.

The supernatant liquid obtained directly from nutritious hybrid Rumexacetosa L. during the preparation of agricultural fertilizer can bedirectly processed to liquid fertilizer.

In addition to suitable content of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassiumthe fertilizer prepared by adding the juice of hybrid Rumex acetosa L.possesses also some microelements such as calcium, magnesium and zinc,especially high content of chlorophyll, to promote metabolism, intensifyphoto-synthesis, and increase sugar content and dry substances. Thus itcan improve the ability of anti-inversions of crops, such as the abilityof anti-frozen and anti-diseases, hence increasing crop productivity andquality, diminishing environment pollution and harm of chemicalsubstances to human body. Its rich nutrition will also improve cropquality, making its taste better, promoting activation of nutrition insoil, hence making better absorption of plants, better metabolism andseed formation, and resulting in earlier mature and high productivity.

According to different soils and different crops, different recipes isapplied and the application of the said fertilizer has the followingresults:

Changing root area environment, promoting formation of micro-clusterstructure of soil, activating non-effective nutrition into effectiveone, increasing growing capability of the crop essentials, promotingsprouting with full and strong seedling, broadening area of nutritionabsorption of crop, preventing occurring of essence lacking, flourishingessential systems, developing stem and strengthening capability ofanti-lying down, elevating porosity and water holding due to formationof soil micro-clusters with effective nutrition combination, increasingutility of nutrition, making crop leaf widened and thickened, thickeningsurface wax layer and thus diminishing water evaporation, increasing theability of anti-drought and keeping water and moisture in the soil,strengthening photo-synthetic activity in leaf surface due to increasingof various organic substances and thus elevating chlorophyll contentwhich will make crops in deep green color and with high and strongstems, and fixation of nitrogen which will make the fertilizer withstrong and quick absorption capability in long term. The fertilizer,which is poison free, harmless and pollution free, is an ideal one forproduction of organic food. It can diminish soil pollution, preventsoil-based infectious diseases and rice communicable diseases, diminishunderground maggot injury, and improve ecological balance. Thefertilizer improves also fruit quality, diminishes its chemicalconstituents, increases its organic substances, makes it taste better,and elevates sugar content. And it makes vegetables in deep green colorand with fresh palate.
